What's for dinner?

Lookin' good Alex! I added an electric smoker to my arsenal last year. I was afraid it wouldn't give the flavor I get from my stick burner, but I was wrong. It turns out some great flavorful meat and is a lot easier to manage heat with. Did some ribs on it Saturday.

Smoked 'em for 2 hours at 250



Then into foil for another 2 hours...

Brown sugar base with added flavor on top?

I make a rub that goes on the ribs while they smoke naked for a couple of hours and then I put them in foil with brown sugar and squeeze butter and give them 2-3 more hours or until they hit about 195 F internal temp. The rub combines with the brown sugar and butter to basically make your sauce. You can still use a sauce on top of that if you like, but I prefer them this way. I've been doing ribs quite a bit this year so my technique is fresh on my mind as I work to improve it. Makes some darn tasty ribs.

1/3 pound American Jalapeno Burger anyone? Sometimes you just have to go Jimmy Buffett.

My ugly crust has become my trademark among friends. This one has Turkey sausage under the cheese and diced pepperoni on top for maximum coverage. And of course a fine easy drinking lager to accompany it.

I made one of my favorite Hawaiian dishes, Loco Moco...turned out pretty darn good too

I'm not Thumbs, but I manage pretty well sometimes. One of my favorite dishes, Chili Verde (easy on the heat for the family):

Your stuff looks better than mine! I love burritos. Last Spring I picked up a bunch of restaurant quality oven-proof plates mainly for burritos. You can get 'em at restaurant supply stores. They run about $10 a piece, but they sure keep the food hot. Looks great!

The wife made some killer chicken in the oven, then topped it off with some bbq sauce no wonder I am "oversized"

[Diamond Dave]

Oh that chicken looks goooood! I am so far behind in posting some of the dinners lately...

Maybe this weekend will be better for pics.

Meh, just more of you to love. I'm trying to gain weight. Mainly so I can wear hilarious t-shirts, like "I'm not a doctor, but I'll take a look.". Homemade wings on my favorite Scooby Doo snack plate at midnight should help.

That's a nice looking hunk of meat! The ribs look pretty good too...

Despite what you've heard, the Porknado is real. Bacon wrapped tenderloin over potatoes so the fat renders out and fries them. A healthy treat packed with vitamin B. Bacon.
